hey guys,

ive got a 1988 Cefiro, has Rb20det, im currently running a HKS 2530 turbo but lately its been making a weird high pitched wistling noise, the turbo still boosts fine, but just earlier on today i took it out for a run and the the car started boosting fine then the power just cut off completely then back on again. it wasnt stuttering like it was a sparkplug problem so im guessing it could be the turbo wearing out?

the car is running bigger injectors (unsure of size, but runs about 66% at 1bar)

Tomei cams (again unsure of specs)

2530

Z32 AFM

3core radiator

oil cooler

FMIC

Power FC

and few others

just wondering if it would be my turbo, or something else. havent owned an RB before, only a SR20DET and a 13BT.

if it be worth rebuilding it or going for something bigger?

cheers guys :(

i would doubt power would come and go with a turbo.

it's either working or not... going by my expiriances with blowing my GT30.

one min there was stupid acceleration, next second no boost, and it didnt come back.

then just a sickening rattle from the shagged cartridge.

when you say, cut-off. What you mean... seconds, a milli-second...

over bumps or something - ie some surge ???

cheers mate, just making a really weird spool up noise, and has cut out once, so i have no idea lol...

thanks for the help!

i'd guess that if its making a high pitched screaming noise that it'd be an exhaust leak on the manifold side, check that all your manifold and turbo-manifold nuts are nice and tight.

power loss could be an entirely different issue. :)

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
